Last, I will tell a little story on myself. To my chagrin and annoyance, our last club meeting offered clarity on my racing abilities. Peter Robinson, in his first night of racing 1/12th at H30, laid down a faster qual than I ever have, including last season on the same layout with a boosted car. I am thinking hard on the subject and coming to the realization that feeling the boost is not the same as using the boost. There are other realizations, but they do not constitute polite discourse.

Note to Self- "Yes, I do all too well know this Horse is Dead".

-- The pan car classes at H30 have done nothing but grow this season, despite doing away with dynamic timing.
-- I held my own at the TZGP (granted, in the C-main) running no timing...in fact, using the same gearing and motor that I run at H30. The two guys I've debated "no timing" with the most (you and Pops) finished behind me.

-- The possibility for mod 1/12 at H30 is real as the class grows.
At any rate, preference is preference, there's no accounting for that. But I think we've shown so far (at the local level) that 'no timing' hasn't hurt the pan car classes one lick. Considering the limited amount of testing/tuning we get at H30, I think removing one level of complication is a good thing. Just my 2 pesos.

AND ME TOO!!! but at least I made the B main.. hung over... lol
down here in Salem we have been running 10.5 stock spec, no timing, no Voodoo, whatever... and its fun of course. it does make you a more consistent driver BUT.. we are just goofing around. with the size of our track some extra timing will make an improvement in times guaranteed.
(I’m a true believer in VooDoo) and I’m not debating
I asked before is the hanger not on live rc?

Points of fact:

and you can't prove a positive, no telling how the class would have been affected if the timing was kept.

I don't care what nobody says...as soon as we find out what the classes are for Natl's (especially the 1/12th classes...can't you tell I'm partial
), I say we start running them here at the Hangar ASAP. I would LOVE to see the majority of us 'show up' at Nationals next year

yea, what he said
#4587

I am much happier without timing. Stock sedan is more fun without dynamic timing to deal with. Much more straight forward, throw some gearing at it and go play. I can focus on the car setup more now than figuring out why my timing ramp keeps kicking in the middle of the track and boosting me too hot into the chicane.

But then again, maybe this is a discussion best suited for Timezone.
End discussion....
